Welcome to the "kubuntu-users" mailing list

[Varun Jindal]

this is a reply to Mr. Perry. (I will post another reply for Mr. Alan soon)
:)).

1. Yes, I installed Kubuntu as an app software (as was mentioned on CD
label). However, i can only boot into either at startup. I know about
Virtualization but don't want that.

2. Anyhow, Yes, I installed Kubuntu in F:\ (XP NTFS partition) from a live
CD mailed to me from shipit. I can open it within XP to see Kubuntu files
but MS doesn't recognize them.

3. Mr. Alan rightly said that I may not have the drivers to play media
files. Otherwise, why won't they play even when they are being shown!!

4. Finally one more request: I read Adept should be used (for Kubuntu)
instead of Synaptic. I found somewhere link to download it. However, link
opens to show some more files. But never downloads it. Please give me a
direct link for downloading Adept. I have downloaded Kpackagekit though.

And, show me the way how to install Kpackagekit on Kubuntu...should I just
copy - paste it into bin and launch?

5. Mr. Alan, Yes, I am ready to learn all those commands. :)) wil post you
the name of games package soon..
